She knows that she wants at least 1 layering turtleneck – it could get really cool! Conversely, she’s still going to hold onto her beige linen shirt for a few more months, in case there’s a string of warm days. 2 tee shirts will get her through quite a bit of unexpected warmth, but a linen shirt can be worn on its own or layered…

What a lovely wardrobe. It would never occur to me to choose both teal and green as part of a cold scheme, and they work so well together. I am really coming around to that dark red shade too, and that tasseled scarf is the perfect accessory.

Will you be doing a birth month flower post for August (or have I missed it somehow)?

I could swear that I responded yesterday… Silly internet! You can tie a pocket square into a jaunty little dash of color around your neck – it’s only going to leave 2 inches or so of fabric after you knot it, so it’s not swishing all over the place. Also, they make nifty little bracelets, if you can get it tied or find someone to help you tie it, and they also look nice tied onto a handbag. Any other ideas? hugs, Janice

I really love all your ideas Janice, but this one especially since it fits my more casual life now! I am not kidding, I looked at those two tops yesterday! I love Sanderson florals, in fact I love floral or striped tops a lot so am always looking for them. I have moch more of a probelm making sure I have the needed solids! I also loved you highlighted the white/beige/stone/light khaki as neutrals. I really need a second choice besides my navy and maybe this will help me discover it!

You count whatever you want to count! The only real goal of Project 333 is to give yourself guidelines within which you learn to cut back on the size of your wardrobe. You make your own guidelines… hugs, Janice

Oh, oh, oh, pattern and texture, oh, oh, bliss! And what a happy mix of beautiful colours. Oh! The Australian chain Sportscraft, which ships overseas, always has pretty Liberty print shirts at a more affordable price than Liberty of London. I have a collection … And as here, they’re great for colour mixing.

I love this colour palette, although with lots of dog walking to do I think I would add a couple of pairs of dark blue jeans to the equation … and of course there are still a couple of vacancies in the P333 so this is eminently possible 😁

I love your website and looking at all the selections of clothes – the whole idea of working from a limited number of items makes life simple and am definitely planning to give it a go this autumn. However, I do find many of your items very expensive, particularly the accessories – £500 for a scarf or over £600 for a necklace? Definitely outside my budget, so will be on the lookout for something similar at more affordable prices. Still, it’s lovely to look – like window-shopping!

I’m loving your ideas for fall! I have a styling question. I’m looking for ways to wear ankle boots with straight leg pants. Either they are too narrow to fit over the boot or they bunch up or get caught on the boot when I stand after sitting. I’m not sure I want to roll them. Any other suggestions?

I’m just now reading this post, but I am loving this collection. As a light, bright (read Spring), I’m always on the hunt for ideas with warmer neutrals. And I generally never wear all the same color at once unless it is in a textured monochromatic way, so seeing a plan that has more color options in it makes me happy! Off to see how I can make this work with pieces I have!
